I was once told by an sad old guy wearing a 'nam vet cap who was so fat that he could not button the sides of his coveralls that when he was a scout sniper "up country" zapping gooks in the brush that he has a custom made M16 "special" chambered for .30-30 because it cut the brush better. He said that he would have preferred a M1 Grarand for humping in the jungle because it was the reason we won WW2.

I thanked him for his service.
